Self-control, also known as self-regulation, refers to the ability to manage ones thoughts, emotions, and behaviors in order to achieve goals and respond to situations in a socially appropriate manner. It involves the ability to delay gratification, resist temptations, and persist in the face of difficulties or distractions.
Having good self-control is important for many aspects of life, such as personal relationships, academic and professional success, and physical and mental health. Some strategies that can help improve self-control include setting clear goals, monitoring ones behavior, practicing mindfulness and meditation, getting enough sleep and exercise, and seeking social support.
